Recensioner i media

"Around the time of his 100th birthday, Bob Harper finally read "Flying Fortress Gunner". Though he and the book’s author, Bill Cullen, shared a close personal bond, it was the story of Harper’s wartime service that brought the two closer together still. When the author suggested the two collaborate on a memoir, Bob Harper could only modestly reply, “well, if you think anyone would be interested in reading it.” The result is a book everyone should read, regardless of interest."
